Some hard sacks would really help us here. Marvin may think twice about playing his starters.

Great..all tied up. NOW...keep the pressure on D!

Too early for two

Finally a TD!

Sorry for the sarcasm...this game is frustrating as hell.

10 Yard Punt..let's go get that FG!

1 Touchdown in our last 35 possessions says Nance. Yet Harbs is going to let Joe dictate whether they try new things like the wildcat.

Flacco is playing like a moron. 3rd and long he always throws 6 yards short. You're not getting the first down like that Joe

Reminds me of this commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Nmgice3ieZ4

Marvin plays his guys for a half I bet. 2nd half will be backups.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I Well we'll see. He has shown improvement since the beginning of the season but still has a long way to go.

When we play teams who's offenses are run by good offensive minds (Denver, Chicago, NE) the difference between their playcalling and ours is night and day. We play a dumbed down straight ahead style of offense that really only works when you can out physical the other team and impose your will in the run game. Remember Green Bay with the 4 consecutive runs at the goal line? How often do we have our wideouts come of of bunches to confuse the opposing team's defense. Seems to work all the time against us. What I appreciate about Caldwell's offense is that he is intent on having balance between the pass and the run. I think he is an improvement over Cameron, which is why I don't think we need to make a change just to make a change. I don't think that Caldwell is a 'bad' coordinator but he may not be the right one for Flacco. We may need a guy like Norv Turner or Josh McDaniels to get the most out of Flacco. Early on I would have agreed with you, because the Oline wasn't giving Joe enough time to go through his reads. Lately (last 4 or 5 games?) he's been getting that time, but still hasn't performed up to the level of the SB run. This leads me to what I think the biggest difference between last year's playoff run and this year. Last year Joe was deadly accurate with the deep pass. Think about it, how often has Joe underthrown or overthrown Jacoby or Torrey deep down the field? Almost every time he misses, that's 7 points down the tubes. He wasn't missing these during the SB run, and unfortunately his accuracy issues this year have killed the offense.

Just for fun. Although I wouldn't put it past Cravn to have bet on the outcome of our league.

That is some harsh internal criticism, granted from an unnamed source. As I watched the sophisticated design of the Patriots plays I couldn't help but be a little jealous of the playcalling. They were just more sophisticated from a design standpoint. The 3rd and short goal line play that freed up the back to catch the ball out of the backfield is an example. Now, the other side of the coin is guys were open Sunday and Joe wasn't hitting them. When Joe is on, he makes Caldwell look like a genius. When he's off, he struggles to the point where Caldwell's plays (or his inability to adjust accordingly) haven't help us win. I don't think you change coordinators just to make a change this offseason, however if a proven guy becomes available (live Norv Turner last year), I think you have to pull the trigger.

I can't believe I'm actually typing this..... 'Congrats on winning our fantasy football championship'.

Im not sure what u mean by "they did him no favors". Gino is in year 2 and spent the first year learning under Birk. He had time. I think they should draft a centrr if the right guy falls to them early, otherwise explore a bargain vet. There were bargain guys out there this year that would have been a huge improvement over Gino. Granted they couldnt know that at the beginning of the season, but knowing what they know now I dont see how they can chance another year relying on the guy. The Steelers picked up a guy week 1 after pouncey got hurt and he was solid for them up until he got hurt in the game in Baltimore.

Didn't you also say the Ravens would win the division.

Keep Yanda, Osi, and Monroe. Let Oher go. Gino is a backup or he's gone. Shipley backup.

It depends how hard Cinci plays. If the Pats get out to a big lead Cinci could pull their starters at half. Either way I think Joe has a good day.

I don't think so...usually you only do that to a player who has a hand in the play. Brady was on the bench for that score.

Joe blew today and everything else fell apart like dominoes. Joe was the lynchpin and catalyst for the collapse. It was one those classic Joe Meltdown games that he seems to have two or three times a year. (Houston, Seattle, Jax). Next week he'll come back strong...for what it's worth.

Even if we win, we need SD to lose against a KC team that will be resting their starters. It aint going to happen this year...probably better to get the higher draft pick considering how poor the offense is.

Congrats. Everyone is beaten up. Pray for that 2 seed because you guys will need it. Different team at home vs on the road.

If we don't win the steelers have to lose too..against Cleveland in Pittsburgh. So basically win and we're in. Lose and we're out.
